Roost has flown the coop

Roost (4529 Springfield Ave.), the fried chicken-and-fixins concept from Mau Daigle and Annie Baum-Stein of West Philly’s Milk & Honey Market, is in hibernation. “We've closed the shop, but we're hoping to reopen in a more suitable location," Baum-Stein says. Where Roost will resurface is TBD, but the couple is scouting real estate in Center City and on Drexel's campus, something larger than its former digs, which still currently doubles at the Milk & Honey commissary. (Chef Jordan Miller tells Meal Ticket he'll soon be cooking at Black Eyed Susan's on LBI.) Whereas Roost 1.0 was takeout only, "We hope to include seating at the new location," a la Rotisseur. We’ll be among the first in line.
